After leaving Hong Lao under the tree, Chen Nian planned to climb the hill and observe from above the entrance that Elder Hong Jandi and Hong Gui had talked about.
However, he gave up the plan when he saw a pack of thunder wolves coming in great numbers. Immediately, Chen Nian turned back and ran. “Young Master Hong, quickly inform the others, thunder wolves are coming this way!” Hong Lao, who was about to doze off, was suddenly startled by someone’s shout. He looked at Chen Nian and immediately stood up without questioning the truth of his words, as he already understood a little about the young man’s character. “Elder Jandi, we have guests!” shouted Hong Lao as he leaped forward, a single powerful leap covering a hundred meters. Chen Nian followed and landed not far from the elders, who were now talking to Hong Lao and listening to what he said. “What kind of guest, young master, that makes you look so worried?” “My brother here said that a pack of thunder wolves is coming this way. We must prepare, don’t let anyone become a victim!” explained Hong Lao. Jandi looked at Chen Nian and asked, “Are you certain?” “Yes, elder, I estimate there are dozens of thunder wolves heading this way!” “Hmm, this is good news. Those wolves will lead us to the underground passage. Let’s hide!” Everyone leapt up into the large tree, vaulting their bodies and holding their breath on the branches. But wolves’ sense of smell was extremely sharp, they could recognize the scent of humans nearby. Growls were heard as they appeared. “They’re only level-three wolves, but since their pack numbers in the dozens, perhaps reaching a hundred, it’s the same as fighting a level-six beast. If they detect us, this will be difficult!” Hong Gui whispered softly to Hong Ba, who was beside him. Hong Ba replied, “Make sure not to involve the juniors, especially the young master. We must protect them, no matter what happens!” “It seems difficult to realize all that, because we cannot fight and protect everyone at once, when the enemy overwhelms us in numbers,” Hong Gui said again, shaking his head helplessly at the current reality. “I feel guilty for not forbidding the young master from joining this treasure hunt.” “What’s done is done, we cannot regret it too much. What matters now is that we get the treasure and also survive this wolf pack.” The pack of wolves gathered more and more around a huge tree. A passage was revealed when several wolves removed the covering that blocked the entrance with their two hands. One by one they entered, leaving ten wolves standing guard. After a few breaths, Hong Jandi descended and immediately swung the sword in his hand. Slash! One unprepared wolf was struck, but it was only a shallow wound at the base of its neck. Hong Jandi’s plan had been to behead it, but the surge of lightning from the wolf’s horn lashed at his arm, making his sword tremble and weakening its inner energy. Now he was attacked by the ten wolves, each releasing lightning that formed a ball, which they hurled at Hong Jandi’s body. Boom! Hong Jandi managed to dodge, though he was still thrown back by the explosion’s force. But before hitting the ground, his body was caught by Hong Ba. “How are you!?” “The scale of their lightning isn’t too big, but if they combine it again like before, the effect will be tremendous. We must be careful! Don’t let them form the lightning ball and throw it!” replied Hong Jandi, seeing his right hand still trembling from the shock. Hong Gui descended to strike the thunder wolves as they were combining their power again, stronger than before. But before he could extend his sword, an attack struck his back. One wolf leapt out from inside the large tree, pouncing on the unsuspecting Hong Gui. Crash! His body slammed into rocks and rolled. A huge tear appeared on Hong Gui’s back, and without immediate treatment, he would die. Hong Ba darted toward Hong Gui, who was about to be mauled again, but the huge wolf’s body also lunged toward him with its jaws wide open. Hong Ba thrust his sword straight through its skull. The wolf died instantly. Hong Ba glanced toward Hong Gui’s position and felt relief when he saw Nian standing there, having saved his brother. Nine wolves remained, but now one wolf raised its head, preparing to howl, perhaps to inform the others about the deaths of two among them. “Young master, hide yourself!” Hong Jandi warned. “The rest of you, do not descend. This is dangerous!” He cast a stern look at the other juniors. As the one in charge, Hong Jandi had the authority to command them. Everyone, including Hong Lao, dared not disobey his orders, as they knew the consequences. Death could be the price. Chen Nian moved swiftly toward the wolf that was about to howl. His movements were as fast as lightning, using the micro step to attack while escaping the encirclement. Slash, slash, slash. Three fell. “Lightning Sword!” he murmured again. He moved swiftly, and before the wolves’ lightning could form into a ball, Chen Nian had already eliminated the remaining six. All eyes were stunned by his prowess. Chen Nian sheathed his sword. “Let’s go inside!” he said and immediately entered without waiting for or seeking approval from the Hong Clan members. “You all wait here, I will accompany that young man,” Hong Ba suggested. Jandi thought it wasn’t the best idea, but before he could say anything, Hong Ba had already darted off. “We’ll stand guard here. Once it’s safe, we’ll enter,” said Hong Lao. “Yes, young master!” replied the remaining people. “Let’s prepare traps for the wolf pack, in case Elder Hong Ba and Nian don’t return,” Jandi then organized everyone to make traps. Meanwhile, inside the passage that grew larger and larger, the two of them walked side by side. If before, when they entered, they had to bend their backs, now they could walk with heads held upright. “Be careful, uncle. There may be a king or queen of the wolf pack inside,” Chen Nian had already drawn his sword again. “Alright, young man!” Hong Ba replied respectfully. I wonder what kind of training this young man has undergone to become so strong, even his muscular body shows he’s endured harsh physical training. And who is his teacher, what’s his name? Hong Ba was still thinking about this when his body brushed against Chen Nian’s shoulder. “What are you thinking, uncle!” Chen Nian asked. “Focus, we are already surrounded by wolves!” “Forgive me! What should we do?” “Follow my lead!” Chen Nian moved using micro steps.Latest Chapter
Chapter 1746: The Awakening of the War Goddess
The footsteps from the middle of the group came to a halt. A tall young man with long red hair tied behind his head stepped forward. A bronze sea sword hung from his waist, radiating ripples of scorching energy.He smiled faintly."I thought those flying tigers would finish you off. But it seems you're tougher than I expected."His gaze swept over Mu Lan's body before shifting toward Jun Rouling's spear, which was still stained with frozen blood."Unfortunately, you've already exhausted most of your strength."Jun Rouling did not answer. She merely raised her spear slightly, preparing herself for battle.The young man made a small gesture with his hand.Four of his subordinates immediately moved to surround them from the left and right, forming a concave formation that restricted their movements."My name is Ruo Feng. Perhaps you've heard of me. I simply want to see whether the disciples from the Eastern Region are truly as extraordinary as people claim."Mu Lan gave a faint sneer."I
Chapter 1745: The Twin-Fanged Flying Tigers
The white mist covering the valley parted beneath the force of the wind.On a narrow rocky plateau between two steep cliffs, Jun Rouling and Mu Lan stood back to back, both breathing slightly heavily. Above them, two silvery shadows streaked across the gray sky like flashes of silver. They were a pair of Twin-Fanged Flying Tigers.The creatures were not particularly large, measuring only about two meters in length. However, their thin, scale-covered wings, soundless movements, and claws as sharp as spiritual daggers made them apex predators in the central zone of the valley."Don't underestimate them!" Jun Rouling shouted as she spun the ice spear in her hand. "They're not only fast, but they can also absorb energy from the ground and the air!"Mu Lan clutched her injured arm. Dark red blood flowed from a deep claw wound, while the left side of her clothes had been torn."Damn it, I didn't have enough time to form a complete protective barrier," she muttered, suppressing the pain. "Th
Chapter 1744: The Flames of Retribution
The mist rolled rapidly across the land. The earth rumbled softly, as though holding its breath before a massive explosion.Bao Luang pointed forward, his voice cracking like a whip."Destroy him! Tear out his heart and bury his name here!"The six remaining disciples of the Lightning Wolf Sect charged forward simultaneously.Shi Yan did not retreat. He reached down and touched a small stone on the ground, a hidden trigger for one of his formations.BRAGGHH!!The first explosion erupted beneath the feet of the two leading attackers. Spiritual flames surged from the ground like a dragon spewing fire, engulfing them in a single brutal strike. Both bodies were hurled into the air, burning from within."AAARRRGHH!!"Bao Luang flinched in shock."Flame Battle Formation!? In this poisonous grassland? How is that possible...?"Three others charged from the left and right. But Shi Yan had already stepped onto the ground. Formation symbols lit up beneath his feet.ZRRRAAKK!!The ground beneath
Chapter 1743: The Poisonous Grassland Becomes a Battlefield
Shi Yan did not stop moving. He continued forward, not because he feared facing a larger group of opponents, but because he understood that strength alone was not enough to succeed in a trial like this."Waiting only gives others time to grow stronger. I have no need for that."He crossed a rocky path between two low cliffs, where white mist hung in the air like a silent curtain. Every step was measured. His ears could pick up the faint buzzing of insects, the movement of branches, and even the beating of his own heart.Then, behind an ordinary-looking thorny bush, his eyes caught a bright red reflection.He approached slowly. Between the jagged rocks grew a plant with golden-orange leaves that stretched outward like tongues of flame. Its leaves fluttered despite the absence of wind. A faint heat radiated from the surrounding air."Flame Tongue, a rare plant from the northern volcanic mountains. It only grows in places where fire energy and poisonous energy remain in balance. It's a p
Chapter 1742: A Message Written in Blood
The spiritual bird continued circling above Shi Yan's head like an unwelcome shadow. Ever since he entered the poisonous grassland, the creature had never strayed more than a hundred meters away.Occasionally, it would swoop lower, as though recording Shi Yan's route and position. Its movements were far too precise and far too well-trained to belong to an ordinary wild creature.Shi Yan slowed his steps and briefly lowered his head, pretending to examine the poisonous plants growing from cracks in the ground. In reality, he was sensing the air around him, searching for irregularities in the surrounding spiritual rhythm."Its energy traces... are far too consistent," he murmured.He raised his head.The bird passed directly above him again, moving slowly."Watching me," he whispered. "It seems there are bloodthirsty eyes hiding behind your wings."Shi Yan's expression remained calm, but a circular weapon suddenly appeared in his left hand. It was dark in color, with glowing red lines r
Chapter 1741: The Lightning Wolf Sect's Hunting Formation
The mist began to thicken. Among the ancient trees and moss-covered rocks, what had initially appeared to be ordinary terrain had now transformed into a silent death trap, where a single misstep could prove fatal.Most participants had been scattered immediately upon entering due to the formation's random teleportation. However, not everyone was traveling alone.On the northern side of the valley, twenty shadows moved in a tactical formation. Arranged in several layers, they swept through the forest paths as though hunting prey.They wore black and gray robes bearing the emblem of a wolf's head, the symbol of the Lightning Wolf Sect, an elite sect from the Central Region renowned for its cruelty, speed, and organization.Although their cultivation had been suppressed to the same level as everyone else's, their murderous auras remained dense, like the lingering scent of blood that had become part of their very breath.They did not greet one another. There was no unnecessary conversatio
